ROCK CANDY!

Known for playing rugged, roguish characters, James Hoare is perfectly cast as Albert in the new Picnic At Hanging Rock.

DNA: Picnic At Hanging Rock is an absolute Aussie classic. How familiar are you with the original film?

James Hoare: I saw the movie as a kid and always assumed it was a true story. I grew up on a cane farm in Queensland and we had cattle, so there was a lot of mustering and nights spent in the bush. I can certainly relate to the whole mystique of the story.

You play the bush-wise coachman Albert… big shoes to fill as a young John Jarrett, now most famous for Wolf Creek, played the role.

That’s right! It’s funny and a bit of a coincidence because I was having dinner with my family and my uncle casually said, “Oh, John Jarratt was my housemate in Townsville, back in the ’70s”. He said it so casually, but I was amazed. This was before he became an actor.
